Answer 5

Doleful means sad, irascible means easily angered, malevolent means evil and hostile, and prodigal means spending money freely and extravagantly.
It says that the director constructed "a Babylonian palace for a single short scene", so it means he had little value for money and was wasteful and extravagant. So prodigal, D, is the best answer.
